It’s time to get cosmic as we take another look at what DC Comics has planned for readers in January 2027. We’ve taken a look at the Bat-Family and Super-Family already alongside the headline books for the month. Now it’s time to see what the Green Lantern Corps are going to be getting up to as the new year begins.

All the good the Green Lantern Corps has done, all the lives they’ve saved, the lives they’re now protecting: Is that worth more than the life of one friendless child?

John Stewart and the Darkstars, Jessica Cruz and the Alpha Guardians, the brave, the bold, Black Hand, and the Light of Life all collide in a confrontation that changes the way the Lanterns operate forever.

In an Elseworld far from what we know, the Empire of Humanity continues its centuries-long conquest of the universe. They will stop at nothing, laying siege to the cosmos planet by planet, until all kneel to the might of the human race. Only the Green Lantern Corps dare oppose the human scourge.
No human has ever fought for the Corps…until now. Witness Hal Jordan’s epic, blood-soaked odyssey that will take him across the burning ruins of a DC Universe unlike any you’ve ever seen before. He will stop at nothing to attain peace, even if it means taking the fight to the very shores of Hell itself.
Coming tomorrow we’ll be looking at the remaining Justice League members and then we’ll wrap up our look at January with the Weird & Wonderful.
